Abstract

Infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma is a rare disorder. It is a benign entity and usually resolves spontaneously. Most patients present in infancy and early childhood. Because of its natural course and symptom onset, most cases are discovered during childhood. We experienced a rare case of infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma in an adult.

영아 간혈관내피종은 양성 혈관 질환으로 성인에서 진단되는 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 일반적인 종양의 자연경과와 달리 69세 성인에서 진단된 영아 간혈관내피종을 경험하였으며 이에 대한 국내보고가 없어 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
